Bisexuality And The ‘Ex-Gay’ Industry

Pretty much everyone in the BLGT community has heard of it, and most of us would like to pretend it doesn’t exist. For some it’s a joke, for others it represents a deeply painful experience they have actually lived through. It’s the “ex-gay” industry. And despite our living in one of the most democratic countries [...]

The Other Bi: Bigender

The labels associated with the BLGT community are many and varied.

No Benefit Of The Doubt For Bisexuals

Lately bisexuality seems to have been a hot topic all over the Internet.

The Perceptions of Coming Out as Bisexual

In May, Christina Aguilera came out of the closet as bisexual. Rumors had been going around about this for years, so it didn’t exactly come as a surprise to me.
